Chillin' out after the big test

A little brain freeze is ok, especially after you have taken the Pennsylvania System of Standardized Assessment tests.  

The Valley Grove teachers union threw a bit of a snow cone party for all of its students in appreciation for all their hard work.
​
The tests are administered each year to students in grades three to eight and grade 11. 
​
The teachers wanted to give the whole school a treat because even those who were not taking the test were involved in motivating and supporting those who were.

The mobile Kona Shaved Ice truck parked for a couple hours at both the high school and elementary school. They doled out 763 shaved ice cups to students, teachers and staff.

The high school had first dibs in the morning and the elementary school kids closed out their day with the treats.

The elementary school teachers showed off their organization skills dividing the groups into lines by flavor so there wasn't chaos or a huge mess of syrups.

It was efficient and, by the looks on kid's faces, tasty.

Blue colored treats like blueberry and raspberry seemed to be the favored  choice of the little ones.

But if there was a winner for the most colorful tongues, Tiger's Blood was the hands-down champion. It is a blend of watermelon, strawberry and coconut.

There was also a variety of techniques for eating the cold cones. Some dug right in, going face first into the
 syrupy cups.

Others were a little more careful and methodically took small spoon bites. One little boy seemed to prefer sticking his finger in to swirl the ice around before scooping some out with his hands.
Picture
Others just used whatever means necessary to enjoy themselves.

​The teachers were glad to do this again after two years of not having an end of year celebration.
